House of the Day: 799 Carroll Street
Flip-o-rama! In one of the fastest turnaround’s we’ve ever seen, the owner who closed on this 4,728-square-foot house at 799 Carroll Street for $2,275,000 on November 9 of this year has already put the two-family charmer back on the market for, get this, $2,930,000!

Flip-o-rama! In one of the fastest turnaround’s we’ve ever seen, the owner who closed on this 4,728-square-foot house at 799 Carroll Street for $2,275,000 on November 9 of this year has already put the two-family charmer back on the market for, get this, $2,930,000! It’s obviously a very nice house, but not as stunning as some other houses that have come on the market in this price range recently. We’ve got no idea what the seller is thinking will justify the 25% price hike, especially since the market is arguably weaker than when he went into contract earlier this year. Is there a back-story that might explain this?

Ah, 4:26, the kneejerk response from the site’s buddy we always get; thank you for your consistency.
4:26–many people have repeatedly noted that brokers like it when a property is featured, and that they’ve heard brokers say that the house sells quicker even if it’s panned on this blog. I’ve read it before in the comments, and a broker from one of the big firms told me this is true. Maybe there is something to that whole “all publicity is good publicity” thing.
Is it named after Dick?
Here’s a question is Mr Brownstoner highlighting a property good or bad for it’s chance of selling?
Well, the Vermeil’s website is a piece of crap and is also totally misleading. When you click on “gallery” they show you the facades of these nice old brownstone mansions on 7th that have NOTHING to do with the Vermeil. The false marketing makes unsuspecting buyers think that is the building itself. No real pics anywhere, and the music is super annoying.
the vermeil (sterling/7th) sure is lookin nice these days.
they have clad the whole outside in brick and copper and put on a very nice thick cornice. now they are brownstoning the other building, and looks like they are doing a pretty ok job, i must say.
after months of a crappy work site, it finally looks to be taking shape. one of the more contextual buildings i’ve seen built lately.
i think they’ve cut prices a bit since being remarketed. they were insane before.
CRAZY, CRAZY listing price. Insane. For $3m you got much better options in the Slope, like the Sterling Place and 2nd Street houses already mentioned.
Is the mechanicals were new wouldn’t the listing mention that?
Ancient bathrooms, ugly kitchen, painted woodwork. NOT a $3m home, sorry, not even close.
